Democrats Welcome Run Against Trump

March 08, 2016

Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton, left, and Senator Bernie Sanders, Independent-Vermont, take the stage before a Democratic presidential primary debate at the University of Michigan-Flint, Sunday, March 6, 2016, in Flint, Michigan.

Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, the Democratic Party candidates for the U.S. presidential nomination, say they welcome opposing Donald Trump in the general election.

Both candidates were asked during the debate Sunday in Flint, Michigan, how they expect to compete against Trump.

Clinton addressed the question by saying she thinks “that Donald Trump’s bigotry, his bullying, his bluster, are not going to wear well on the American people.”

Trump’s campaign slogan is “Make America Great Again.”

Clinton is ready to challenge Trump’s slogan.

“You know, I don't think we need to make America great again,” Clinton said. “America didn't stop being great. We have to make it whole again.”

Sanders, a senator from Vermont, told the CNN panel and the audience: “I think we can beat Trump. … Our campaign is generating an enormous amount of excitement. I think we are exciting working class people, young people who are prepared to stand up and demand that we have a government that represents all of us.”

Clinton and Sanders also debated the water crisis in Flint. Pipes in the city water system were lined with lead and the water dangerous and toxic. Both Clinton and Sanders demanded Michigan Governor Rick Snyder should resign.
